We  Have  Blue  Prints  Ready 
for  Each  and  Every  Building 
Pictured  in  This  Book 


Note  the  very  reasonable  prices  at  which 
the  designs  illustrated  in  this  book  are  listed. 
These  blue  printed  working  plans  are  ready¬ 
made,  and  can  be  forwarded  by  return  mail. 
If  you  are  able  to  find  exactly  what  you  want 
in  this  collection  you  can  make  a  substantial 
saving  in  the  cost  of  architectural  service.  Also 
there  is  a  saving  in  time. 

If  a  “stock”  plan  will  not  meet  your  needs, 
however,  get  our  proposition  on  a  special  set 
of  plans. 

We  will  make  any  changes  desired  in  any  plan 
you  are  interested  in— either  in  our  books  or 
in  any  other  book  or  from  your  own  rough 
sketch — to  make  it  exactly  suit  your  require¬ 
ments. 

Tell  us  what  kind  of  a  house  or  farm  build¬ 
ing  you  want  and  how  you  want  the  rooms 
arranged.  We’ll  prepare  and  furnish  you  com¬ 
plete  working  drawings  (blue  prints)  and  type¬ 
written  specifications — all  so  clear  and  complete 
that  any  carpenter  or  builder  can  go  ahead 
successfully  with  the  work. 


Never  let  your  customers  build  without  plans 
if  you  can  prevent  it.  The  result  is  sure  to  be 
disappointing  and  more  expensive. 

OUR  OFFER  OF  SERVICE  places  at  your 
command  the  skill  and  experience  of  our  corps 
of  licensed  architects  and  draftsmen.  These 
men  are  trained  experts.  They  have  the  advan-  p 
tage  of  years  devoted  to  this  line  of  work,  so  they 
can  handle  residence  architecture  and  barn  plans  | 
most  intelligently.  They  put  in  all  the  little 
conveniences  but  hold  down  the  cost  by  using 
stock  sizes  of  lumber  and  millwork.

HOMES  FOR  EVERYONE 

Copyright,  1919.  by  Wm.  A.  Radford,  Chicago 


Edited  By  Wm.  A.  RADFORD 

President  of  The  Radford  Architectural  Co.  and  Radford  Publications 
Editor-in-Chief,  “American  Builder”  and  “Farm  Mechanics” 


Planning  to  Build  ? 

Every  good  American  wants  a  home  of  his 
own.  There  is  a  satisfaction  in  owning  a 
home  that  cannot  be  measured  by  its  cost. 
And  the  best  way  to  secure  a  home  is  to  build 
it.  Only  in  this  way  can  a  home  owner  secure 
the  kind  of  a  residence  that  will  exactly  suit 
the  needs  of  his  family  and  fulfill  his  ideas  of 
what  a  home  should  be  in  exterior  appearance 
and  interior  arrangement. 

The  advantages  of  owning  the  house  in 
which  you  live  are  many.  In  the  first  place, 
a  home  can  be  built  for  what  is  paid  in  rent. 
The  home  owner  is  looked  upon  in  his  com¬ 
munity  as  a  stable,  substantial  citizen.  He 
has  business  opportunities  that  the  renter 
does  not  have,  while  his  family  are  accepted 
socially  in  many  circles  that  are  denied  to 
those  who  live  in  rented  houses.  Owning  a 
home  is  an  incentive  to  save.  And  greatest 
of  all  are  the  comforts  and  satisfaction  that 
are  found  in  a  home  of  your  own. 

Presented  in  this  book  are  134  good  home 
building  designs.  There  are  homes  shown 
that  range  all  the  way  from  two  to  ten  rooms; 
of  every  style  of  architecture  that  has  been 
found  best  thru  the  experience  of  builders  and 
architects  and  real  estate  men;  that  give  the 
home  builder  the  maximum  in  beauty  and 
convenience  for  a  minimum  expenditure;  that 
are  constructed  of  every  kind  of  building 
material.  A  thoro  study  of  these  designs  and 
the  floor  plans  that  accompany  them  will 
reveal  to  the  prospective  builder  just  the  type 
of  home  that  his  mind  has  pictured. 

When  the  design  that  is  wanted  is  found, 
the  local  lumber  and  building  material  dealer 
will  give  valuable  advice  as  to  the  kind  of 


materials  to  be  used,  and  what  they  will  cost. 
The  building  contractor  also  will  assist  mater¬ 
ially  by  giving  the  benefit  of  his  experience  in 
building.  By  consulting  these  local  home 
building  experts  before  building,  there  is  no 
chance  to  make  a  mistake. 

Build  From  a  Plan 

Blue  printed  plans,  drawn  by  experienced 
licensed  architects,  allow  the  contractor  to 
build  the  home  just  as  you  want  it.  Every 
detail  of  construction  is  shown  in  these  plans 
which  are  available  at  an  extremely  low  cost. 
They  are  insurance  against  mistakes  and  when 
the  home  is  finished,  the  owner  will  find  it 
exactly  as  he  wanted  it. 

The  blue  prints  consist  of  foundation  plan; 
floor  plans;  roof  plan;  front,  rear  and  two  side 
elevations;  wall  sections;  and  all  necessary 
interior  details.  With  these  plans  are  22 
pages  of  typewritten  instructions  to  the  con¬ 
tractor.  When  the  plans  and  specifications 
are  followed,  the  completed  home  will  be  just 
what  the  owner  bargained  for. 

This  book  is  most  valuable  to  every  pro¬ 
spective  home  builder.  It  gives  a  great 
variety  of  good  designs  to  make  a  selection 
from.  The  blue  printed  plans  come  to  you 
at  little  cost.  Yet  they  will  save  you 
many,  many  dollars.  Look  the  designs 
over  carefully,  decide  on  the  home  you 
want;  secure  a  set  of  the  plans  and  type¬ 
written  instructions;  then  consult  your  local 
lumber  and  building  material  dealer  and  the 
contractor. 

By  following  the  plans  and  with  the  help  of 
your  lumber  dealer  and  contractor,  you  will  get 
an  ideal  home  for  yourself  and  family.

bungalows.  In  its  balanced  simplicity  and  grace  of  roof  line,  this  bungalow  will  be  to  the  middle  west— where 
lots  are  wider — what  the  two-story  Dutch  Colonial  is  down  east.

design,  altho  the  building  cannot  be  called  an  example  of  pure  Colonial  architecture.  The  large  turned  columns

The  Colonial  Square — The 
Old  Favorite 

No  type  of  house  is  susceptible  of 
greater  diversity  of  arrangement  of  the 
interior  than  the  old-style  rectangular 
structure,  which  usually  is  designed,  ex¬ 
ternally,  in  accord  with  the  old  Colonial 
type,  or  a  modification  thereof. 

The  square  or  rectangular  plans  of 
the  floors  may  be  divided  to  suit  the 
wishes  of  the  owner.  The  design  here 
given,  design  No.  6870P,  shows  a  modern 
arrangement,  one  large  living  room  in¬ 
stead  of  the  conventional  parlor  and  sec¬ 
ond  parlor,  being  the  feature  of  the  first 
floor  plan. 

The  hall  treatment  is  excellent.  The 
entry  serves  effectually  as  a  guard 
against  invading  cold  winds  of  winter 
and  affords  facilities  for  taking  care 
of  dripping  umbrellas. 

The  lavatory  at  the  extreme  rear 
of  the  hall  is  a  feature  that  will  be 
appreciated  by  all  who  value  comfort 
and  convenience. 

The  passageway  between  kitchen 
and  dining  room,  occupying  the  pro¬ 
jection  shown  on  the  floor  plan  is 
an  effectual  guard  against  kitchen 
odors  invading  the  dining  room,  and 


also  provides  space  for  pantry  and 
refrigerator. 

The  second  floor  arrangement  is 
notable  for  the  convenient  location  of 
the  bath,  which  brings  it  immediately 
over  the  plumbing  in  kitchen  and  lava¬ 
tory,  thus  calling  for  the  use  of  a  mini¬ 
mum  quantity  of  pipe. 

The  large  bedroom,  usually  designated 
as  “owner’s”  bedroom,  is  a  valuable 
feature  as,  also,  are  the  two  large  closets 
which  are  provided  for  the  use  of  its 
occupants. 

Every  available  inch  of  space  in  the 
upper  hall  is  utilized  to  advantage.  In 
many  second  floor  plans  for  houses  of 


this  type  the  hall  is  planned  to  extend 
thru  to  the  front  wall.  In  this  plan 
one-half  of  the  space  is  thrown  into  the 
smaller  of  the  two  front  bedrooms  and 
the  other  half  is  made  into  closets. 

The  porch  adjoining  the  living  room, 
which  could  be  glazed  or  screened,  if 
desired,  will  prove  a  great  attraction  to 
many. 

The  location  of  the  fireplace  and  the 
broad  chimney  built  into  the  outside 
wall  are  novel  features  of  this  home 
design.  The  straight  lines  of  the  walls 
make  this  an  economical  house  to  build, 
but,  at  the  same  time,  a  home  that  will 
be  found  comfortable  and  convenient.

Seven-Room  Stucco  House 

A  feature  of  especial  attraction  in  this 
neat  stucco  home  is  the  exceptionally 
generous  proportions  of  the  down-stair 
rooms.  The  living  room,  extending  as 
it  does  across  the  entire  width  of  the 
house,  with  the  fireplace  at  one  end  and 
the  stair  at  the  other,  offers  an  inviting 
effect  to  anyone  entering  the  front  door. 

The  cased  opening  into  the  dining 
room  gives  a  view  of  this  large  room, 
with  its  built-in  buffet  at  the  rear,  from 
the  front  of  the  house,  and  offers  the 
housewife  an  excellent  opportunity  to 
make  a  very  pretty  display  of  her  fancy 
ware  and  dining  room  furniture. 

The  pantry  placed  between  the  dining 
room  and  kitchen  greatly  facilitates 
serving  and  reduces  the  work  in  this 
portion  of  the  house  very  materially. 

A  bedroom  is  also  furnished,  on  the 
first  floor,  which  is  a  desirable  feature 
in  a  family  where  the  older  folks  like 
to  avoid  walking  up  and  down  stairs 
as  much  as  possible. 

The  rooms  of  this  floor  are  well  light¬ 
ed  thruout,  and  the  closet  space  fur¬ 
nished  is  sufficient  for  not  only  the  bed¬ 
room,  but  also  any  table  linen  or  other 
material  may  be  stored  if  necessary. 

A  hall  across  half  of  the  upper  floor, 
from  which  all  of  the  rooms  are  acces¬ 


sible,  is  an  arrangement  which  will  be 
appreciated  in  case  of  sickness,  as  is  also 
the  built-in  medicine  chest  with  mirror- 
front  door  in  the  bathroom. 

The  exterior  design  with  its  possi¬ 


bility  of  any  color  in  stucco  finish,  its 
broad  porch  with  attractive  concrete 
block  rail,  its  outside  chimney,  and  gen¬ 
erous  rear  porch  is  worthy  of  note.  This 
home  is  one  which  combines  all  of  the 
advantages  of  the  two  storied  structure 
with  the  pleasing  appearance  of  the 
bungalow.

Distinctive  Stucco  Cottage 

Good  architecture  consists  of  arrang¬ 
ing  lines — lines  straight,  concave,  con¬ 
vex  and  concentric — in  proper  relation 
to  each  other. 

Design  6871 P  is  a  fine  example  of 
good  architecture.  This  stucco  cottage 
is  suitable  for  a  flat  or  an  elevated  plot 
of  ground  but  scarcely  adaptable  to 
sunken  location. 

This  house  makes  a  practical  as  well 
as  a  beautiful  home  for  a  small  family. 
The  living  room  is  large,  the  kitchen 
compact  and  convenient  and  the  dining 
room  ample  in  size  and  beautifully 
lighted. 

One  large  and  one  small  bedroom, 
bath  and  hall  comprise  the  second-floor 
arrangement. 

A  feature  that  will  appeal  to  the 
orderly  housekeeper  is  the  grade  en¬ 
trance  at  the  side.  This  provides  access 
to  cellar  and  kitchen  and  a  means  of 
replenishing  the  refrigerator  in  the  lat¬ 
ter  without  tracking  up  the  kitchen  floor. 

Contractors  will  find  prospective 
builders  turning  again  and  again  to 
practical  houses  of  this  character,  the 
appearance  of  which  leaves  little  to  be 


desired.  Architecturally  the  beauty  of 
this  design  is  derived  from  the  straight 
lines  of  the  eaves  dormer  and  the  arched 
space  between  the  porch  columns.  Break 
into  either  and  the  symmetry  of  the  plan 


is  marred  if  not  entirely  destroyed. 

If  the  house  is  set  facing  east,  the 
large  porch — 8  by  26  feet — may  be 
screened  and  a  summer  parlor  secured 
in  that  way  at  a  very  small  cost.

A  Brick  Home  of  the  City  Type 

Lighting  a  home  built  on  a  narrow  city  lot  is  one  of  the 
more  difficult  problems  the  builder  encounters.  Usually  the 
light  must  be  admitted  from  front  and  rear.  Side  windows 
in  many  cases  are  impossible,  and  in  very  few  instances  are 
they  desirable. 

The  accompanying  brick  house  design  is  notable  for  its 
excellent  architecture  and  efficient  lighting.  The  large 
multiple  windows  in  living  room  and  dining  room  insure  a 
diffusion  of  light  thruout  both. 

This  home  is  22  feet  by  33  feet  and  is  designed  for  a  25- 
foot  lot.  Set  at  one  side  of  the  lot  ample  room  for  passage 
is  secured. 

Much  of  the  beauty  of  the  front  is  derived  from  the  straight 
lines  of  porch  and  roof  which  may  be  enhanced  by  the  use 
of  brick  of  subdued — not  dark — color,  for  the  beauty  of  the 
brick  is  augmented  by  the  six  white  terra  cotta  caps.  The 
color  for  the  tile  on  the  roof  should  be  studied  with  care. 
Green  is  a  favorite,  as  is  also  red.  The  really  important  thing 
is  to  have  the  brick,  trim  and  tile  harmonize. 

This  is  a  six-room  home  with  hall,  pantry  and  bath  and 
the  rooms  all  are  of  fair  size.  The  arrangement  utilizes  all 
the  space  to  advantage,  and  vestibule,  halls  and  closets  are 
provided. 

It  will  be  noted  that  the  walls  of  the  first  story  are  13  inches 
thick,  while  those  for  the  second  story  are  9  inches  thick,  a 
material  saving  in  space  and  cost.

Homelike  Bungalow  of  Five 
Rooms 

Comfortable,  simple  lines  are  illustrat¬ 
ed  here  by  this  little  bungalow.  A 
straight  hip  roof  is  used  with  a  pro¬ 
jecting  dormer  as  the  only  break  in  its 
surface.  The  hip  roof  is  very  useful 
in  this  type  of  house  because  of  the 
space  that  can  be  furnished  in  the  attic. 
Even  if  this  is  not  used,  the  air  space 
provided  will  keep  the  main  floor  cool  in 
the  hottest  weather.  This  space  is  also 
very  desirable  in  a  small  house  for 
storage. 

The  walls  are  finished  with  siding 
and  the  roof  is  shingled.  The  cobble¬ 
stone  chimney  is  a  pleasing  feature  of 
the  exterior.  The  broad  front  porch, 
extending ’across  the  front  of  the  house 
is  attractively  decorated  with  the  block 
columns  and  the  simple  railing. 

The  living  room  and  the  dining  room 
form  an  attractive  combination.  The 
entire  wall  between  the  two  is  re¬ 
moved  which  gives  the  effect  of  one 
big  room.  Part  of  this  partition  be¬ 
tween  the  two  rooms  is  occupied  by  a 
wide  cased  opening  and  the  rest  by  a 
colonnade  with  a  seat  on  the  living  room 
side  and  a  china  case  on  the  dining  room 
side.  The  two  rooms  are  connected  so 
closely  that  care  should  be  taken  in 
choosing  the  furnishings  of  the  room. 
They  will  have  to  be  much  alike  so  a  de¬ 
sign  must  be  chosen  that  will  be  suited 
to  both  the  rooms.  This  is  not  so  easy 


as  the  uses  to  which  the  rooms  are  put 
vary  considerably. 

The  door  from  the  porch  opens  into 


Floor  Plan  of  Cottage.  Size,  30  by 
44  Feet  6  Inches. 


an  entry  which  has  a  small  closet  for 
wraps.  The  other  side  of  the  entry  has 
a  cased  opening  that  leads  to  the  living 
room.  The  view  from  this  entry  of  the 
fireplace,  the  broad  seat  and  window  in 
the  dining  room  and  the  wide  opening 
between  the  two  rooms  is  very  striking. 

The  back  porch  is  built  into  the  house. 
It  is  large  enough  so  that  it  will  be 
valuable  as  a  kitchen  annex. 

The  kitchen  is  of  good  size  and  is 
conveniently  arranged.  Many  house¬ 
wives  prefer  cupboards  to  a  pantry  and 
there  are  several  advantages  that  cup¬ 
boards  possess.  They  can  be  placed  in 
the  most  convenient  place  and  are  al¬ 
ways  so  easy  to  get  at.  This  plan  in¬ 
cludes  two,  both  conveniently  located 
with  regard  to  the  dining  room  en¬ 
trance. 

The  size  of  the  house  makes  it  pos¬ 
sible  to  have  a  basement  of  a  size  that 
will  be  very  useful.  Sufficient  head- 
room  is  provided  so  that  a  heating  plant 
can  be  installed  of  any  type  that  is 
desired.  The  basement  can  also  be  par¬ 
titioned  off  into  rooms  which  will  in¬ 
crease  its  value  to  a  large  degree.  Very 
often  heavy  concrete  walls  are  used  for 
this  purpose  which  will  allow  the  con¬ 
struction  of  a  cold  storage  room  where 
fruit  and  vegetables  can  be  kept.  If 
such  a  room  is  to  be  provided  it  should 
be  placed  as  far  from  the  furnace  as 
possible. 

Two  bedrooms  with  a  bath  between 
are  provided  in  the  floor  plan.

Seven-Room  Frame  House 

The  exterior  finish  of  this  house  is 
simple  and  neat.  Beveled  siding  and 
shingles  are  used  on  the  walls  and  the 
hip  roof  is  shingled.  The  interior  ar¬ 
rangement  gives  this  house  an  especial 
appeal. 

A  large  reception  hall  is  entered  from 
the  front  porch.  This  hall  connects  with 
the  kitchen  and  the  living  room.  The 
living  room  and  dining  room  have  a 
large  cased  opening  between  them,  pro¬ 
ducing  the  effect  of  one  large  room.  A 
buffet  is  provided  in  the  dining  room. 
The  kitchen  is  large  and  airy  and  is 
fitted  with  a  cupboard  on  one  side  of  the 
hall  leading  to  the  reception  hall,  while 
the  refrigerator  is  set  into  a  nook  on 
the  other  side  of  the  hall  door.  The 
refrigerator  is  iced  from  the  hall,  handy 
to  the  stair  leading  to  the  grade  entry. 

The  stair  leading  to  the  second  floor 
is  built  up  from  the  reception  hall  to

Artistic  Nine-Room  Home 

The  exterior  of  this  house  is  finished  in 
brick  and  stucco.  The  panel  work  under 
the  gables  is  artistic,  especially  if  the  house 
is  trimmed  in  white.-  The  wide  front 
porch  is  a  pleasing  feature  and  is  given 
an  air  of  privacy  by  the  solid  brick  rail 
built  rather  high  with  the  entrance  placed 
at  the  side.  The  high  chimney  is  very 
appropriate  in  giving  a  finishing  touch  to 
the  roof. 

The  arrangement  of  rooms  is  all  that 
could  be  asked  for  in  convenience  and 
nicety  of  finish.  The  front  door  opens  into 
a  hall  which  has  a  cased  opening  to  the 
right  into  the  living  room.  Doors  in  this 
hall  also  lead  to  the  stairway  and  one  bed¬ 
room.  The  living  room  and  dining  room 
are  finished  with  exposed  timber  ceilings. 
A  large  fireplace  is  built  into  the  outside 
wall  in  the  living  room.  A  three-window 
bay  furnishes  the  dining  room  with  an 
abundance  of  light. 

Double  doors  lead  from  the  dining  room 
into  the  breakfast  porch,  which  has  six 
windows  and  is  sure  to  be  a  pleasant  fea¬ 
ture  of  this  house.  The  pantry  is  handy 
to  both  the  dining  room  and  breakfast 
porch  and  is  fitted  with  table  and  shelves.

A  Frame  House  with  Brick 
Porch 

Very  pleasing  effects  have  been  pro¬ 
duced  by  adding  brick  porches  to  frame 
houses  already  built.  In  fact,  some 
people  rather  favor  this  construction 
and  like  to  see  it  in  a  new  house.  This 
design,  No.  6828P,  is  an  interesting  ex¬ 
ample  of  the  pleasing  effect  which  may 
be  obtained  by  including  a  brick  porch 
and  out-built  brick  chimney  in  the  de¬ 
sign  of  a  frame  house. 

In  order  to  bring  out  the  desired  con¬ 
trast  in  color  effects,  it  is  usually  the 
custom  to  paint  the  body  of  the  house 
white  and  use  a  white  stone  or  concrete 
for  the  caps  of  columns  and  rails.  The 
perspective  shows  the  added  touch  which 
may  be  obtained  by  finishing  the  win¬ 
dow  sash  in  some  dark  color.  The  ap¬ 
pearance  of  the  hip  roof  is  pleasing  in 
this  design  and  this  roof  has  the  added 
advantage  that  all  of  the  upper  floor 
rooms  may  be  full  height  without  carry¬ 
ing  the  roof  to  excessive  height.  The 
chimney  is  carried  well  up  above  the 
top  of  the  roof,  both  for  the  increased 
draft  which  is  obtained  in  this  way,  and 
for  the  effect  in  appearance  which  it 
produces. 

The  interior  of  the  house  is  divided 
up  into  three  rooms  on  the  first  floor 
and  four  rooms  on  the  second  floor. 


The  entrance  from  the  front  porch  leads 
into  a  reception  hall.  The  living  room 
is  entered  from  this  hall  and  the  fire¬ 
place  is  directly  opposite  with  a  small 
window  on  either  side.  The  dining  room 
is  entered  thru  the  living  room.  This 
dining  room  is  one  of  the  pleasant 
features  of  the  house.  A  bay  is  built 


into  the  wall  on  the  side  of  the  house 
and  three  large  windows  are  placed  in 
it.  In  the  back  wall  two  small  windows 
are  set  one  on  either  side  of  the  buffet. 
The  room  is  very  well  lighted  and  is 
excellent  for  a  dining  room.  The  kitch¬ 
en  is  handily  arranged  with  sink  and 
cupboards  along  the  inside  wall.

A  Pleasant  Five-Room 
Bungalow 

The  design  shown  in  the  accompany¬ 
ing  perspective  and  floor  plan  is  in¬ 
tended  to  carry  out  the  bungalow  type 
of  construction  with  some  variation  in 
the  usual  external  appearance.  This  is 
accomplished  by  the  use  of  a  roof  de¬ 
sign  which  is  mainly  of  the  hip  type, 
when  viewed  from  the  front,  but  which 
is  really  a  combination  of  both  the  hip 
and  gable  types.  In  order  to  balance 
the  appearance  and  relieve  the  wide  area 
of  shingled  surface,  a  little  dormer  is 
built  in  front. 

The  sides  of  the  house  are  finished  in 
beveled  siding.  The  porch  is  built  up 
of  cobble  stones  capped  with  white 
stone  or  concrete  slabs.  The  corner 
columns  are  carried  part  way  up  with 
the  stone  and  are  then  relieved  with 
tapering  square  wooden  columns.  The 
floor  of  the  porch  is  of  concrete.  This 
house  is  preferably  finished  in  some 
dark  shade  with  white  trim. 

Since  the  railing  of  the  front  porch 
is  carried  quite  high,  this  porch  may  be 
well  utilized  as  another  room  during 
the  months  when  the  temperature  will 
permit.  The  living  room  is  entered  from 
the  porch,  the  door  being  at  one  side 
of  the  steps  rather  than  in  front  of 
them,  as  is  usually  the  case.  The  large 
fireplace  is  directly  in  front  of  the  door 


Floor  Plan  of  Bungalow. 
Size,  24  Feet  by  40  Feet. 


as  the  living  room  is  entered.  This  liv¬ 
ing  room  is  not  an  extremely  large 
room,  but  it  is  very  cozy  and  should 
furnish  the  family  a  great  deal  of 
pleasure.  A  bay  is  built  into  the  front 
wall  and  has  one  large  and  two  small 
windows  in  it.  There  are  also  two  other 
windows  in  the  room. 

The  dining  room  is  a  somewhat  larger 
room  than  the  living  room  and  is  fitted 
with  a  buffet  in  accordance  with  modern 
practice  in  house  design.  The  kitchen 
has  the  cupboard  handy  to  the  dining 
room  and  the  sink  is  placed  under  the 
two  windows  which  furnish  light  for 
this  room.  The  refrigerator  is  placed 
in  the  rear  entry,  where  the  iceman  will 
not  track  dirt  into  the  house. 

A  hall  which  leads  back  from  the  din¬ 
ing  room  makes  the  two  bedrooms  and 
the  bathroom  accessible  from  the  front 
of  the  house.  The  basement  is  also 
entered  from  this  hall.  Each  bedroom 
is  provided  with  a  large  closet.  All 
rooms  are  made  pleasant  with  plenty  of 
light,  and  there  is  no  reason  why  any 
part  of  the  house  should  ever  be  stuffy. 

A  large  basement  is  provided  which 
may  be  found  to  be  of  great  service  in 
that  it  not  only  provides  for  a  laundry, 
furnace  room  and  vegetable  cellar,  but 
it  also  furnishes  a  place  to  store  any 
articles  which  might  be  in  the  way  on 
the  upper  floor.

Six-Room  Square  Colonial 
House 

This  frame  house,  Design  No.  6825P, 
is  simple  in  its  detail  of  finish,  but  it 
has  an  appeal  which  may  perhaps  be 
attributed  to  this  simplicity.  The  sides 
of  the  house  are  finished  with  beveled 
siding  broken  near  the  sills  of  the  upper 
floor  windows  by  a  broad  strip  encircling 
the  building.  The  house  may  be  en¬ 
tered  from  any  one  of  three  porches. 
The  front  porch  is  built  on  the  style 
of  a  pergola  with  heavy  round  columns. 
This  porch  has  two  entrances  into  the 
living  room,  one  thru  the  single  panel 
plate  glass  door  and  the  other  thru  the 
French  doors.  A  door  into  the  hall  has 
a  canopy  with  two  columns  and  a  con¬ 
crete  platform  with  two  steps  on  the 
outside,  from  which  a  sidewalk  is  in¬ 
tended  to  be  laid  around  the  corner  of 
the  house  to  meet  the  sidewalk  to  the 
front  porch.  The  third  porch  is  one 
from  which  the  kitchen  may  be  entered. 

The  large  living  room  has,  as  a  dis¬ 
tinguishing  feature,  the  big  fireplace 
built  out  from  the  center  of  the  rear 
wall.  This  fireplace  may  be  made  a  very 
pleasant  part  of  the  room  and  also  a 
very  attractive  part  by  the  use  of  equip¬ 
ment  which  will  be  in  keeping  with  the 
size  of  the  room.  Rather  heavy  and¬ 


irons  or  a  grate  fitted  with  massive  dec¬ 
orative  posts,  together  with  a  standard 
to  hold  the  various  implements  needed 
near  a  fireplace,  will  be  very  appropriate 
in  this  room.  The  living  room  is  fur¬ 
ther  aided  by  the  abundance  of  light, 
which  is  admitted  thru  the  six  windows 
and  the  doors. 

A  hall  immediately  off  of  the  living 
room  contains  the  stairway  leading  to 
the  second  floor.  This  hall  runs  across 
the  width  of  the  house  to  the  kitchen 


and  pantry.  The  latter  room  is  equipped 
with  shelves  and  a  work  table,  one  win¬ 
dow  being  directly  above  the  table.  The 
stair  into  the  basement  leads  from  the 
pantry.  The  kitchen  is  large  and  well 
lighted.  A  swinging  door  leads  from 
it  into  the  dining  room.  This  room  is 
large  and  is  lighted  thru  four  windows. 

On  the  second  floor  there  are  three 
bedrooms  and  a  bath.  The  stair  leads 
up  into  the  hall,  which  runs  across  the 
width  of  the  house  at  its  center.

A  DELIGHTFUL  DUTCH  COLONIAL  DWELLING.  An  extra  charm  has  been  given  this  little  home  by  using 
special  irregular  wood  shingles  laid  in  wavy  lines  with  a  wide  exposure.  It  is  suggestive  of  the  hand-wrought 
architecture  of  the  early  Dutch  of  New  Amsterdam.  This  distinctive  house  contains  four  fine  rooms  on  the  first  floor.

A  Small  House  of  Pleasing 
Design 

Beveled  siding,  shingles  and  brick  are 
used  to  finish  the  exterior  of  house  de¬ 
sign  No.  6834P,  shown  in  the  accom¬ 
panying  perspective  and  plan.  The  com¬ 
bination  of  these  three  materials  does  not 
produce  a  patchy  finish,  but  they  har¬ 
monize  beautifully.  The  brick  are  used 
in  the  foundation  walls  from  grade  to 
the  sills,  and  in  the  porch  railing  wall. 
The  sides  of  the  house  are  finished  with 
beveled  siding  up  to  the  second  floor, 
and  with  shingles  the  rest  of  the  way 
to  the  roof.  If  the  shingles  are  stained 
some  fairly  dark  tint  and  the  beveled 
siding  is  painted  some  light  color  or 
white,  with  the  window  sash  dark,  the 
effect  produced  is  very  pleasing. 

This  house  may  be  entered  either 
from  the  little  front  porch,  thru  double 
doors  of  the  French  type,  or  from  the 
stoop  on  the  side  of  the  house.  A  side¬ 
walk  may  be  laid  from  this  stoop  either 
to  the  sidewalk  leading  to  the  front 
porch,  or  directly  to  the  street.  The 
corners  in  the  building,  around  the 
porch,  furnish  the  possibility  of  an  at¬ 
tractive  arrangement  of  shrubs  and 
vines.  With  the  proper  lawn  to  set  off 
this  house,  a  very  pleasant  home  may  be 
established. 

The  cozy  interior  arrangement  is  the 


most  interesting  feature  to  the  home 
lover.  The  large  living  room  is  an  ex¬ 
cellent  place  for  the  family  to  gather  in 
the  evenings.  A  fireplace  with  a -book 
case  on  one  side  and  a  seat  on  the  other 
is  built  at  one  end  of  the  room.  The 
stair  to  the  second  floor  starts  from  one 
corner  of  the  living  room.  A  cased 
opening  leads  to  the  dining  room.  The 
buffet  is  built  along  the  wall  to  the  left 
of  the  opening  from  the  living  room. 
The  kitchen  and  pantry  occupy  a  part 


of  the  house  to  themselves.  Every  con¬ 
venience  is  included  in  the  design  of  this 
part  of  the  house.  A  special  feature  is 
the  refrigerator  iced  from  the  little  rear 
entry. 

Two  bedrooms  and  a  bath  are  in¬ 
cluded  in  the  second  floor  design.  The 
bathroom  is  built  into  a  dormer  and  is 
large  and  well  lighted.  The  rooms  are 
made  independent  without  the  loss  of  a 
foot  of  space  by  bringing  the  stairway 
up  in  the  middle  of  the  house.

A  BEAUTY  AT  THE  PRICE— A  LOW-COST  COLONIAL.  Here  is  a  seven-room  dwelling,  size  36  by  24  feet, 
designed  in  the  true  Dutch  Colonial  style.  Every  foot  of  space  is  used  to  advantage — conveniences  are  built  in  on 
all  sides.  Notice  that  immense  living  room;  the  entrance — French  doors,  placed  away  at  one  end — makes  the  far  end 
of  the  room  a  real  retreat.  The  balcony  above  the  piazza  stretches  across  both  of  the  bedrooms  on  that  side  of  the 
house.

TROUBLE  HOUSE,  EACH  of  FIVE  ROOMS  AND  BATH.  An  economical  method  of  building  homes  is  to  erect 
'  double  houses,  thus  saving  the  cost  of  one  wall.  The  attractive  exterior  and  the  convenient  arrangement  of  the 
rooms  will  have  an  appeal.  The  dimensions  are  36  by  44  feet,  so  that  the  building  can  be  erected  on  a  50-foot  lot.

Bungalow  with  Concrete 
Block  Porch 

Since  the  advent  of  the  concrete  block 
industry,  some  rapid  steps  have  been 
made  in  house  construction.  The  special 
facings  which  it  is  possible  to  apply  to 
the  concrete  blocks  make  them  a  solu¬ 
tion  of  almost  any  problem  in  house 
building  where  something  special  is  de¬ 
sired  in  finish.  By  the  use  of  white 
cement  in  connection  with  suitable  color¬ 
ing  material  almost  any  shade  or  tint 
may  be  obtained  and  a  very  close  imita¬ 
tion  of  highly  expensive  stone  may  be 
built  at  a  reasonable  cost.  Marble,  gran¬ 
ite,  sandstone  and  limestone  may  be 
imitated  with  such  exactness  that  there 
is  no  advantage  gained  in  the  use  of 
the  true  material. 

The  little  bungalow  shown  here  as  de¬ 
sign  No.  6829P,  is  an  excellent  example 
of  the  beautiful  effect  which  may  be 
obtained  by  the  use  of  special  face  con¬ 
crete  blocks  applied  to  the  construction 
of  the  porch  and  chimney  of  a  frame 
house.  The  facing  used  in  this  case  is 
intended  to  imitate  white  marble.  This 
facing  consists  of  a  mortar  made  of 
some  brand  of  white  cement  and  marble 
chippings.  The  stone  is  not  polished, 
in  this  case,  since  the  rough  surface  is 
more  in  harmony  with  the  scheme  of 
design  than  the  polished  surface  would 
be.  It  is  possible,  however,  to  produce

a  very  high  polish  on  the  surface  of 
these  concrete  blocks  if  it  is  desired. 
Two  sizes  of  blocks  are  used  in  the 
walls  and  special  size  blocks  are  cast 
for  the  porch  rail.  The  work  is  laid 
up  in  alternate  wide  and  narrow  courses 
and  is  pointed  with  dark  colored  mor¬ 
tar.  The  design  is  capable  of  a  very 
pleasing  finish  by  properly  selecting  the 
color  scheme  in  painting.  A  special 
feature  is  the  flower  box  placed  under 
the  gable  beneath  the  wide  window. 

The  room  arrangement  of  the  bunga¬ 
low  is  simple  and  effective.  The  living 
room  extends  from  one  side  to  the  other 
of  the  front  part  of  the  house,  and  has 
a  fireplace  at  one  end.  Six  windows 
and  the  front  door  admit  light  to  the 
room,  assuring  a  pleasant  place  for  the 
entertainment  of  afternoon  guests.  In 
the  rear  of  the  living  room  the  dining 
room  occupies  one  side  of  the  house 
and  the  bedroom  the  other.  A  three 
window  bay  is  built  into  the  outside 
wall  of  each  of  these  rooms.  The 
kitchen  is  centrally  located  in  the  rear 
of  the  house  with  the  bathroom  on  one 
side  and  the  rear  porch  on  the  other. 
The  rear  porch  is  really  an  additional 
room  and  may  be  used  to  supplement 
the  kitchen.  Closets  are  provided  in 
the  bedroom,  kitchen  and  rear  porch 
and  a  cupboard  is  set  into  the  wall  in 
the  kitchen.

A  Cozy  Stucco  Home  of  Seven 
Rooms 

The  stucco  finish  which  has  become  so 
popular  during  recent  years  lends  it¬ 
self  well  to  almost  any  style  of  house 
design,  but  it  is  especially  well  adapted 
to  houses  having  broad  gable  roofs.  This 
design,  No.  6836P,  is  a  type  of  house 
which  seems  to  have  the  inherent  qual¬ 
ities  which  are  required  for  the  best 
stucco  effects.  The  main  roof  is  carried 
out  to  cover  the  front  porch,  which  is 


large,  extending  across  the  entire  width 
of  the  house.  Two  massive  columns 
support  the  roof  over  the  porch  and  the 
entire  front  view  is  unobstructed  by 
posts.  The  porch  rail  is  solid  and  un¬ 
broken  except  for  the  steps  at  the  front. 

A  small  dormer  with  gable  roof  is 
placed  near  the  center  of  the  main  roof 
in  both  the  front  and  back  of  the  house. 
These  dormers  are  finished  artistically 
with  exposed  rafter  ends,  purlin  brack¬ 
ets  and  panel  work.  An  attractive  little

of  the  house  on  one  of  the  side  walls. 

The  interior  arrangement  is  all  that 
could  be  wished  for  in  convenience  and 
attractiveness.  The  entrance  from  the 
front  porch  is  into  a  reception  hall  in 
which  the  staircase  to  the  second  floor 
is  built.  Cased  openings  lead  to  the 
living  room  and  dining  room.  The  for¬ 
mer  is  a  very  comfortable  room  with 
its  large  fireplace  and  built-in  seats.  A 
double  tier  of  bookcases  occupy  the 
sides  of  the  cased  opening  into  the  den. 
This  room  has  a  pleasant  little  seat  built 
into  the  bay.  The  dining  room  is  large 
and  has  a  buffet  set  against  the  outside 
wall.  A  swinging  door  leads  to  the 
kitchen,  which  is  supplemented  by  a 
handy  pantry  in  which  the  refrigerator 
and  shelves  furnish  a  place  in  which  to 
store  all  of  the  foodstuffs  together. 

The  second  floor  contains  two  large 
bedrooms,  a  bath  and  a  sewing  room. 
Each  of  these  rooms  open  into  the  hall, 
which  runs  parallel  to  the  staircase. 

The  bedrooms  are  good,  large  rooms ; 
and  each  has  a  clothes  closet  of  generous 
size.  The  sewing  room  is  smaller,  but 
has  more  windows ;  in  fact,  some  would 
call  this  a  “sleeping  porch”  because  of 
its  three  casement  windows.

Well  Arranged  Seven-Room 
House 

The  attractiveness  of  a  house  which 
will  yield  well  to  a  decorative  treat¬ 
ment  such  as  that  shown  here  cannot 
be  questioned.  The  white  lower  portion 
in  contrast  with  the  upper  dark  portion 
is  very  pleasing  and  always  gives  the 
impression  of  brightness  that  goes  with 
well-kept  premises.  The  upper  portion 
of  this,  house  is  finished  with  shingles 
while  the  lower  walls  are  faced  with 
beveled  siding.  The  porch  is  built  into 
the  house  and  fitted  in  a  manner  which 
gives  it  an  air  of  privacy.  A  set  of 
screens  may  be  used  on  this  porch  dur¬ 
ing  the  summer  time,  these  to  be  taken 
out  during  the  winter  and  glass  win¬ 
dows  inserted  in  their  place.  The  porch 
will  then  act  as  a  blanket  to  protect  the 
front  of  the  house  from  winter  winds. 

A  small  vestibule  in  which  the  stair¬ 
case  is  built  has  a  cased  opening  into 
the  living  room.  The  fireplace  in  this 
room  is  tucked  cozily  into  a  corner  and 
a  little  seat  is  built  against  the  wall  at 
one  side  of  it.  A  cased  opening  leads 
back  to  the  dining  room  which  is  built 
into  a  corner  of  the  house — the  ideal 
situation  for  this  room.  A  first  floor  bed¬ 
room,  which  would  make  an  excellent 
den  if  not  needed  for  other  purposes,  is 
entered  from  the  dining  room. 

The  kitchen  with  its  connecting  pan¬ 
try  is  well  arranged  to  meet  the  de¬ 
mands  of  the  critical  housewife,  A  work 


table  is  built  beneath  the  pantry  window 
and  the  cupboards  are  handily  located 
on  either  side.  The  refrigerator  may  be 
placed  in  the  pantry  and  an  opening  is 
provided  so  that  it  is  iced  from  the 
landing  at  the  top  of  the  short  flight 


of  steps  leading  from  the  grade  door. 

Three  very  large  bedrooms  are  pro¬ 
vided  on  the  second  floor.  Each  has  a 
generous  closet  fitted  with  shelves  at 
both  ends.

Large  Brick  and  Shingle  House 
for  Shallow  Lot 

Because  most  city  lots  are  deep  and 
narrow,  it  is  unusual  to  see  a  house  de¬ 
signed  as  a  city  home  which  has  its 
longer  dimension  across  the  front. 
Aside  from  some  few  cases  in  which  it 
is  necessary  to  cut  lots  of  peculiar 
shape  on  account  of  streets  intersecting 
at  sharp  angles,  the  only  place  where 
a  house  with  wide  front  is  likely  to  be 
used  is  on  a  corner  lot  which  offers 
frontage  on  two  streets.  Even  if  plenty 
of  room  is  available  the  usual  custom 
is  to  build  a  house  with  its  narrow  side 
to  the  front  even  tho  such  a  practice 
robs  the  owner  of  space  which  might 
be  used  as  a  large  front  or  back  lawn 
and  presents  the  narrow  side  of  the 
house  as  the  only  part  that  is  ever 
noticed  by  passers-by. 

Design  No.  6841P  shown  here  presents 
an  unusually  attractive  appearance  from 
the  street.  Since  the  gable  roof  is 
placed  with  its  ridge  parallel  to  the 
street,  the  tile  covered  surface,  broken 
by  the  dormer  with  its  six  square  win¬ 
dows,  is  a  prominent  feature.  The  upper 
floor  is  finished  with  shingles  while  the 
first  floor  walls  are  of  brick  trimmed 
with  white  stone  or  terra  cotta.  Details 
are  carefully  worked  out  to  produce  a 
nicely  balanced  appearance.  A  special 
feature  of  the  front  porch  construction 


is  the  manner  in  which  the  brick  col¬ 
umns  are  carried  up  thru  the  roof  and 
capped  with  a  white  stone  or  terra  cotta 
slab.  Ornamental  vases  may  be  placed 
on  these  columns  and  flowers  planted 
in  them  in  the  summer  time  will  pro¬ 
duce  a  pleasing  effect.  The  canopy  over 
the  windows  on  either  side  of  the  chim¬ 
ney  is  covered  with  tile  similar  to  that 
used  on  the  roof. 

The  front  door  opens  into  a  recep¬ 
tion  hall  from  which  cased  openings 
lead  to  the  living  room,  dining  room 
and  back  thru  a  hall  to  the  toilet.  The 
hall  has  space  provided  for  coats. 

The  living  room  occupies  the  entire 
end  of  the  house  on  one  side  of  the 
reception  hall.  The  fireplace  is  built 


into  the  center  of  the  wall  opposite  the 
hall.  This  room  has  two  casement  win¬ 
dows  at  each  end  and  two  windows  on 
the  side.  The  dining  room  is  on  the 
other  side  of  the  hall.  A  buffet  is  built 
under  the  window  in  the  front  wall  of 
the  house.  Arrangements  for  serving 
meals  are  especially  well  handled  since 
the  dining  room  may  be  entered  from 
both  the  kitchen  and  the  pantry.  The 
latter  room  is  a  model  of  convenience. 
A  wide  shelf  is  built  under  the  window 
with  a  case  on  either  side.  The  refrig¬ 
erator,  which  is  iced  from  the  rear 
porch,  is  handy  to  this  shelf. 

Four  bedrooms,  a  sewing  room  and  a 
bath  open  from  the  hall  on  the  second 
floor.

Brick  Porch  Bungalow 

This  house  is  of  frame  construction 
the  sides  being  finished  with  beveled 
siding  and  the  roof  being  of  the  hip 
type  broken  up  with  small  dormers.  The 
porch  and  chimney  are  built  of  brick 
trimmed  with  white  stone.  In  the 
rail  of  the  porch  a  distinctive  feature  is 
obtained  by  laying  up  the  brick  in 
checker  board  fashion,  the  surface  be¬ 
ing  divided  into  squares  formed  by  plac¬ 
ing  three  brick  with  their  faces  together, 
adjacent  squares  having  the  brick  placed 
at  right  angles.  Two  courses  of  these 
squares  are  used  above,  and  below  which 
a  single  course  of  straight  laid  brick  is 
placed,  followed  above  by  the  stone  cap 
and  below  by  a  stone  sill.  There  are 
two  entrances  to  the  house  from  the 
street.  One  is  from  the  front  porch 
and  the  other  is  by  a  side  stoop  leading 
to  the  kitchen. 

The  front  door  is  placed  near  the  end 
of  the  porch.  It  opens  into  a  little 
vestibule  off  of  which  a  large  closet 
fitted  with  a  shelf  and  providing  gen¬ 
erous  space  for  wraps  is  built.  Double 
glass  doors  lead  to  the  living  room.  At 
the  far  end  of  this  room  is  a  bay  in 
which  three  windows  are  placed.  These 
windows  together  with  one  front  win¬ 
dow  and  the  glass  doors  provide  an 
abundance  of  light  in  the  living  room 
and  assure  the  owner  that  this  will  be  a 
pleasant  part  of  the  house.  A  stair 
leading  to  the  upper  floor  is  entered 
from  the  living  room. 


Double  glass  doors  are  placed  be¬ 
tween  the  living  room  and  the  dining 
room.  A  buffet  is  provided  in  the  din¬ 
ing  room.  The  kitchen  occupies  an  ex¬ 
tended  corner  of  the  house  to  the  rear 
of  the  dining  room.  This  kitchen  is 
arranged  with  convenience  as  the  de¬ 
termining  factor.  There  are  three  v/in- 
dows  and  a  glazed  door  to  brighten 
this  room.  Beneath  the  two  windows  in 
the  rear  wall  there  is  a  work  table  at 
one  end  of  which  is  placed  the  sink 
and  along  the  wall  at  the  other  end  of 
which  the  cupboard  is  built.  Plenty  of 
space  is  provided  for  a  gas  stove  and 
range  along  the  other  wall.  A  handy 
little  closet  with  shelves  on  two  sides 
opens  off  of  the  kitchen  near  the  dining 
room  door. 

The  other  side  of  the  house  is  reached 
from  a  little  hall  which  is  entered  from 
the  dining  room.  There  are  two  bed¬ 
rooms,  each  of  which  is  provided  with  a 
closet.  The  front  bedroom  is  espe¬ 
cially  well  fitted  with  an  exceptionally 
large  closet  lighted  with  a  single  win¬ 
dow.  The  bathroom  is  placed  between 
the  kitchen  and  the  rear  bedroom.  It 
is  fitted  with  a  built-in  medicine  case 
and  a  clothes  chute.  This  latter  feature 
is  a  great  convenience  and  saves  many 
steps  since  it  is  very  handy  to  the  bed¬ 
rooms.  There  is  a  linen  closet  at  the

STUCCO  HOUSE  WITH  NOVEL  ROOF  CONSTRUCTION.  One  of  the  noticeable  features  of  the  exterior  of

gable  end  the  ridge  is  given  a  slight  upward  curve  and  considerable  overhang  is  used.

Convenient  One-Story  House 

The  house  shown  in  the  accompanying  perspective  and  floor  plan 
is  a  suggestion  to  those  who  are  looking  for  a  design  which  will 
embody  a  departure  from  the  usual  type  in  a  one-story  dwelling. 

The  walls  are  finished  with  shingles  and  the  gable  type  roof  is 
shingled.  The  porch  is  placed  in  the  center  of  the  front  wall  and 
a  small  terrace  is  extended  from  the  porch  to  the  sides  of  the  house. 

The  porch  design  is  very  simple.  Two  columns  are  used  to  support 
the  porch  roof  and  the  rail  is  eliminated.  Shrubbery  may  be  planted 
across  the  front  and  one  side  of  the  porch  to  take  the  place  of  the 
porch  rail. 

A  great  deal  of  attention  has  been  given  to  the  arrangement  of 
the  rooms  in  this  house,  resulting  in  what  is  sure  to  be  a  comfortable 
home.  The  living  room  is  entered  from  the  front  porch.  The  wall 
at  the  end  of  the  room  is  given  up  to  the  fireplace  and  two  book¬ 
cases.  There  is  a  double  French  door  opening  upon  the  terrace 
in  the  front  wall.  The  ceiling  is  finished  with  exposed  timbers. 

A  double  door  leads  to  the  dining  room  and  another  door  connects 
the  living  room  with  a  hall  leading  to  the  rear  part  of  the  house. 

The  dining  room  is  a  large,  pleasant  room.  A  sideboard  is  placed 
against  the  inner  wall.  There  are  two  large  windows  to  light  this 
room.  A  paneled  ceiling  offers  the  possibility  of  providing  a  novel 
scheme  in  the  selection  and  arrangement  of  electric  lighting  fixtures. 

The  kitchen  is  especially  well  arranged.  Along  the  side  wall 
there  is  a  china  case  built  in  two  parts  with  a  table  in  the  center 
under  the  window.  The  cellar  stair  door  is  in  the  kitchen,  where  it 
is  most  handily  located  because  steps  are  saved  in  bringing  vegeta¬ 
bles  and  preserves  to  the  kitchen. 

Along  the  other  side  of  the  house  are  arranged  two  bedrooms 
and  a  screened  porch.  There  are  double  doors  leading  from  the 
rear  bedroom  to  the  screened  porch,  but  another  door  opens  from 
the  porch  into  the  hall.  The  bath  is  at  the  rear  end  of  the  hall. 

It  will  be  noticed  that  the  hall  thru  the  center  of  the  house  makes 
all  of  the  rooms  independent  of  one  another.

effect  which  may  be  obtained  by  a  proper

SPECIAL  PLANS 

From  Your  Own  Ideas  at  Low  Prices 


Farm  Building  or  House  Plans 


Did  you  ever  have  a  prospective  builder  come  into 
your  office  with  a  rough  sketch  of  a  house  or  barn  that 
he  wanted  to  build?  A  sketch  that  was  not  drawn  to 
scale  but  made  up  from  his 
own  ideas  or  taken  from  some 
book  or  magazine? 

In  order  to  estimate  safely 
on  a  building  of  that  kind 
you  need  carefully  prepared 
plans  drawn  to  a  regular  scale, 
and  an  itemized  bill  of 
material  would  still  further 
help  you. 

Hundreds  of  dealers  are 
situated  just  as  you  are  and 
are  confronted  by  this  same 
problem. 

To  take  care  of  just  such 
cases  and  in  order  to  give  you 
the  same  advantage  as  tho 
you  had  an  architect  in  your 
office,  we  are  placing  our 
Architectural  Service  at  your 
disposal. 

We  are  in  a  position  to  take 
those  rough  sketches  or  de¬ 
signs  from  other  magazines 
or  books  and  draw  you  com¬ 
plete  working  plans  and  take 
off  the  itemized  list  of  material 
at  a  very  small  cost  and  give 
you  forty-eight  hour  service. 

This  will  enable  you  to 
safely  figure  on  every  job  that 
is  brought  to  you;  this  will 
enable  you  to  render  the  same 


architectural  service  as  those  who  have  an  architect 
exclusively  in  their  employ  and  at  much  less  cost. 

The  bills  of  material  cover  all  lumber,  millwork 

and  hardware  necessary  to 
build  any  building. 

We  want  you  to  take  ad¬ 
vantage  of  this  Special  Plan 
Department;  we  believe  it  will 
enable  you  to  render  your 
customers  better  and  prompter 
service  than  heretofore.  This 
department  is  under  the  direct 
supervision  of  Mr.  Wm.  A. 
Radford.  His  twenty-five 
years’  experience  in  the  lum¬ 
ber  and  sash  and  door  and 
architectural  business  are  at 
your  call.  We  believe  it  will 
make  your  customers  rely 
upon  you  more  and  more  in 
helping  them  with  their  build¬ 
ing  problems;  we  believe  that 
in  connection  with  our  PLAN 
BOOK  SERVICE  it  will  meet 
every  demand  made  upon  a 
retail  dealer. 

Our  architects  and  design¬ 
ers  give  each  plan  a  great  deal 
of  thought  and  make  it  a  point 
to  see  that  all  lumber  and 
millwork,  etc.,  used  in  the 
buildings  are  of  stock  design 
such  as  most  lumber  dealers 
and  all  wholesalers  carry  in 
stock  for  prompt  delivery 
and  at  reasonable  prices. 


What  We  Furnish  in  Blue  Printed  Plans  and  Specifications 


The  first  question  you  will  ask  is,  "What 
do  we  get  in  these  complete  working  plans 
and  specifications?  Of  what  do  they  con¬ 
sist?  Are  they  cheap,  printed  plans  on  tissue 
paper,  without  details  or  specifications?” 

The  plans  we  send  out  are  drawn  one- 
quarter  inch  scale  to  the  foot,  showing  all 
elevations,  floor  plans  and  necessary 
interior  details.  We  use  the  very  best 
quality  heavy  blue  print  paper.  Using 
great  care  in  the  blue-printing  to  have 
every  line  and  figure  perfect  and  distinct.
